Ten out of ten points to you, Siggy. Good job!     And then there's this one.

 

 

 

"The Drugs Don't Work" - The Verve

 

All this talk of getting old

It's getting me down, my love

Like a cat in a bag waiting to drown   

This time I'm coming down

 

And I hope you're thinking of me

As you lay down on your side

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

But I know I'm on a losing streak

Cause I passed down my old street

And if you wanna show

Then just let me know

And I'll sing in your ear again

 

[CHORUS:]

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

Cause baby

If heaven calls I'm coming too

Just like you said

You leave my life

I'm better off dead

 

All this talk of getting old

It's getting me down my love

Like a cat in a bag waiting to drown

This time I'm coming down

 

[CHORUS]

 

But if you wanna show

Just let me know

And I'll sing in your ear again

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

 

I'm never going down

I'm never coming down

No more, no more, no more

No more, no more

I'm never coming down

I'm never going down

No more, no more, no more

No more, no more

"Kill The Pain" - Accept

 

A shadow in an empty doorway

Call your name but no reply

I still see your face

But there's no trace

Photographs

But no goodbyes

Seems like I must be dreaming

But it's all here in black and white

 

A hollow, lost and empty feeling

They say all wounds are healed in time

But I feel worn and somehow unborn

Every day's an uphill climb

Hanging on just for tomorrow

But I find it hard to see the light

I'm just looking for something

To kill the pain tonight

 

Yeah we're all looking for something

To kill the pain tonight

We're all looking for something

To kill the pain tonight

"The Ladder" - Paula Cole

 

Climbing

Climbing

Climbing

Climbing

 

Look at how futile this is

I'm so weak

So fragile

So torn

Going around and around

Going inside

To the circle

To the ladder

To the sky

 

I am climbing the ladder of urgency

Climbing a ladder of hope

Climbing a ladder of my emotions

Climbing a ladder of unraveling hope

 

You see what you want to see

But I'm not

What you wanted

No I'm not

I am only one thing

One thing I see

One thing I feel

 

I am climbing the ladder of urgency

Climbing a ladder of hope

Climbing a ladder of my emotions

Climbing a ladder of unraveling rope

 

Climbing

Climbing

Climbing

Climb

 

Climbing

Climbing

Climbing

Climb

 

Climbing

 

I'm only one thing

One thing I feel

I am the ladder

"Get it Right Next Time" - Gerry Rafferty

 

Out on the street

I was talking to a man

He said, "There's so much of this life of mine

that I don't understand"

You shouldn't worry

Yes that ain't no crime

Cause if you get it wrong

You'll get it right next time

Next time

 

You need direction

Yeah you need a name

When you're standing at the crossroads

Every highway looks the same

After a while

You get to recognize the signs

So if you get it wrong

You'll get it right next time

Next time

 

Life is a liar, yeah life is a cheat

It'll lead you on and pull the ground

From underneath your feet

No use complaining

Don't you worry, don't you whine

Cause if you get it wrong

You'll get it right next time

Next time

 

You gotta grow

You gotta learn by your mistakes

You gotta die a little every day

Just to try to stay awake

When you believe

There's no mountain you can't climb

And if you get it wrong

You'll get it right next time

Next time

 

Next time

"I Needed to Fall" - REO Speedwagon

 

So close to giving up

Never before been so broken

Can I hold on long enough

Are there words yet left unspoken

 

Can I rise above this burning sea

Or am I human after all

Maybe I'm just higher than a man should be

Maybe I needed to fall

 

[CHORUS:]

I needed to fall and come back stronger

I needed to crawl to find my way

And I pray we can look back on it all

Knowing that I needed to fall

In love with you

 

So tired of living up

To an image laid upon me

Can I ever be enough

It all seems so far beyond me

 

And I take this weight upon my shoulders

While I appear to stand so tall

Thinking I can carry the world forever

Maybe I needed to fall

 

[CHORUS]

 

There is just so much a man can bear

Until he starts to find it hard to care

And baby, I'm almost there

 

I needed to fall and come back stronger

I needed to crawl to find my way

And I pray we can look back on it all

Knowing that I needed to fall

In love with you

"Fly Away" - Bread

 

Now is the day

We're on our way

Leave all your cares behind

Set your spirit free

 

Just say goodbye

Take to the sky

We'll see what we can find

Come away with me

 

We can fly

Fly away

We will fly

Looking for a dream

 

See the stars above

And the earth below us spinning

Come with me my love

And we'll find

A new beginning

 

We can fly

We will rise up and fly away

Fly away

Spread our wings and we'll fly away

We will fly

We will rise up and fly away

Looking for a dream

 

Stay by my side

And we will ride

Our silver chariot

To the promised land

 

Don't be afraid

We'll have it made

With all the love we got

Take me by the hand

 

We can fly

We will rise up and fly away

Fly away

Spread our wings and we'll fly away

We will fly

We will rise up and fly away

 

Looking for a dream

Looking for a dream

Looking for a dream

Ode to the Silent  princess....A bit delayed, I've gone a bit silent myself, hey what a coincidence having the Silent princess quote in my sig, hmmm? In any event I was incredibly touched by the gesture. 

:hug:  Here's my song back in full circle mode. With a few emoticons of course!

 

 

 

"And She Was"

 

The Talking Heads

 

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tXa9KMyPWfc

 

 

 

"And She Was"

 

And she was lying in the grass

And she could hear the highway breathing

And she could see a nearby factory

She's making sure she is not dreaming

See the lights of a neighbor's house

Now she's starting to rise

Take a minute to concentrate

And she opens up her eyes

 

The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was)

The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was

 

And she was drifting through the backyard

And she was taking off her dress

And she was moving very slowly

Rising up above the earth

Moving into the universe

Drifting this way and that

Not touching ground at all

Up above the yard

 

[CHORUS]

 

She was glad about it... no doubt about it

She isn't sure where she's gone

No time to think about what to tell them

No time to think about what she's done

And she was

 

And she was looking at herself

And things were looking like a movie

She had a pleasant elevation

She's moving out in all directions

 

[CHORUS]

 

Joining the world of missing persons (and she was)

Missing enough to feel alright (and she was)

" In The Waiting Line"

 

Zero 7

 

 

 

 

"In The Waiting Line"

 

Wait in line

'Till your time

Ticking clock

Everyone stop

 

Everyone's saying different things to me

Different things to me

Everyone's saying different things to me

Different things to me

 

Woooohh

Do you believe

In what you see

There doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me

 

Do you believe

In what you see

Motionless wheel

Nothing is real

Wasting my time

In the waiting line

Do you believe in

What you see

 

Nine to five

Living lies

Everyday

Stealing time

Everyone's taking everything they can

Everything they can

Everyone's taking everything they can

Everything they can

 

Woooohh

Do you believe

In what you feel

It doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me

 

Do you believe

In what you see

Motionless wheel

Nothing is real

Wasting my time

In the waiting line

Do you believe

In what you see

 

Ah and I'll shout and I'll scream

But I'd rather not have seen

And i'll hide away for another day

 

Do you believe

In what you see

Motionless wheel

Nothing is real

Wasting my time

In the waiting line

Do you believe

In what you see

 

Everyone's saying different things to me

Different things to me

Different things to me

Different things to me

Different things to me

Everyone's taking everything they can

Everything they can

"Changes"

 

3 Doors Down

 

 

 

 

"Changes"

 

I'm not suposed to be scared of anything, but I don't know where I am

I wish that I could move but I'm exhausted and nobody understands (how I feel)

I'm trying hard to breathe now but there's no air in my lungs

There's no one here to talk to and the pain inside is making me numb

 

I try to hold this Under control

They can't help me 'Cause no one knows

 

Now I'm going through changes, changes

God, I feel so frustrated lately

When I get suffocated, save me

Now I'm going through changes, changes

 

I'm feeling weak and weary walking through this world alone

Everything you say, every word of it, cuts me to the bone

I've got something to say, but now I've got no where to turn

It feels like I've been buried underneath all the weight of the world

 

I try to hold this Under control

They can't help me 'Cause no one knows

 

Now I'm going through changes, changes

God, I feel so frustrated lately

When I get suffocated, save me

Now I'm going through changes, changes

 

I'm blind and shakin'

Bound and breaking

I hope I make it through all these changes

 

Now I'm going through changes, changes

God, I feel so frustrated lately

When I get suffocated, save me

Now I'm falling apart, now I feel it

 

But I'm going through changes, changes

God, I feel so frustrated lately

And I get suffocated, I hate this

But I'm going through changes, changes

"Save Me" - Edguy

 

Waiting for a little sign

Seems like to no avail

Strolling down the pavement

Aimlessly

 

Waiting for someone

To snatch your bag of memories

How come you call it destiny

When the cross you bear

Is your only company

 

[CHORUS]

Never seen you

I don't even know your name

But still I believe

 

That you are gonna save me

Somehow I got a notion

There's a little affection

On this cold and winding road

Save me

From a state of un-emotion

There's a little affection

On this winding road

 

Why so long

So confusing

Why's growing up hurt so bad

We seek and we get lost

We get found and go again

I don't know what's gone to me

I won't make any promise I believe

 

[CHORUS]

 

I don't know if I can

I don't know if I should

I don't know what is right

And what's to come if you would

Here I stand in the rain

Here I stand in the cold

I been locked until then

Another shout in my soul

 

I'm afraid

Of that harm

 

Save me, save me

I got a notion

Just a little affection

On this cold and winding road

Save me, save me

From my un-emotion

Just a little affection

On this cold and winding road

 

Save me, save me

Lonesome road

"In The Great Unknown" - Mary Fahl

 

Tumbling through space

I didn't hear them call

I must have lost my sense of place

Nothing to break the fall

 

And while the world was turning on without me

Under my feet

All of the stars were burning infinitely

All around me

 

And no one could ever bring me down

Maybe I never understood

And nobody needs to save me now

As if they ever really could

 

I never felt so free

And never been so alone

Everything's how it ought to be

Here in the great unknown

 

And while the world was turning on without me

Under my feet

All of the stars were burning infinitely

All around me

 

And no one could ever bring me down

Maybe I never understood

And nobody needs to save me now

As if they ever really could

"Who Knows Where The Time Goes" - Mary Black

 

Across the evening sky

All the birds are leaving

But how can they know

It's time for them to go

 

Before the winter fire

I will still be dreaming

I do not count the time

 

For who knows where the time goes

Who knows where the time goes

 

Sad deserted shore

Your fickle friends are leaving

Ah, then you know

It's time for them to go

 

But I will still be here

I have no thought of leaving

You know I have no thought of time

 

For who knows where the time goes

Who knows where the time goes

 

And I am not alone

While my love is near me

And I know it will be so

Until it's time to go

 

So come the storms of winter

And then the birds in spring again

I do not fear the time

 

For who knows how my love grows

Who knows where the time goes

"Working On A Dream" - Bruce Springsteen

 

Out here the nights are long

The days are lonely

I think of you

And I'm working on a dream

I'm working on a dream

 

And the cards I've drawn

It's a rough hand, darling

I straighten my back

And I'm working on a dream

I'm working on a dream

 

I'm working on a dream

Though sometimes it feels so far away

I'm working on a dream

And I know it will be mine someday

 

Rain pouring down

I swing my hammer

My hands are rough

From working on a dream

From working on a dream

 

I'm working on a dream

Though trouble can feel like it's here to stay

I'm working on a dream

Our love will chase trouble away

 

I'm working on a dream

Though it can feel so far away

I'm working on a dream

And our love will make it real someday

 

The sunrise come

I climb the ladder

The new day breaks

I'm working on a dream

I'm working on a dream

I'm working on a dream

I'm working on a dream

 

I'm working on a dream

Though it can feel so far away

I'm working on a dream

Our love will make it real someday

I'm working on a dream

Though it can feel so far away

I'm working on a dream

And our love will make it real someday

"We Can Fly" - The Moody Blues

 

We can run, we can ride

We can fly

 

We can love, we can live

We can fly

 

Standing in the shadows

Waiting for the light

Steal away the darkness

Take me home tonight

I love you for the beauty

In our lives

 

Treasure every moment

Never be apart

Follow every footstep

Take me to your heart

I want to feel the freedom

In our lives

 

We can run, we can ride

We can fly

 

No matter what they say

 

We can love, we can live

We can fly

 

Standing in the shadows

Waiting for the light

Steal away the darkness

Take me home tonight

I want to feel the freedom

In our lives

 

We can run, we can ride

We can fly

 

No matter what they say

 

We can love, we can live

We can fly

 

We can run

We can ride

We can fly

No matter what they say

"There's A Place In The World For A Gambler"

Dan Fogelberg

 

There's a place in the world

For a gambler

There's a burden that only

He can bear

There's a place in the world

For a gambler

 

And he sees

Oh yes, he sees

And he sees

Oh yes, he sees

 

There's a song in the heart

Of a woman

That only the truest of loves

Can release

There's a song in the heart

Of a woman

 

Set it free

Oh, set it free

Set it free

Oh, set it free

Set it free

Oh, set it free

There's a light in the depths

Of your darkness

There's a calm at the eye

Of every storm

There's a light in the depths

Of your darkness

 

Let it shine

Oh, let it shine

Let it shine

Oh, let it shine

Let it shine

Oh, let it shine

 

Let it Shine

"Forget" - Marina and the Diamonds

 

Sometimes I think I'm not that strong

But there's a force that carries me on

Sick of my small heart made of steel

Sick of the wounds that never heal

 

Cause I have lived my life in debt

I've spent my days in deep regret

Yeah, I've been living in the red

Oh cause I can't forgive and I can't forget

Forget

 

Forget, forget

Forget, forget

Ain't no time for regret

Yeah, it's time to forget

 

Ever since I can remember

Life was like a tipping scale

Like an abacus I played with

Counting every win and fail

 

Cause I have lived my life in debt

I've spent my days in deep regret

Yeah, I've been living in the red

But I wanna forgive and forget

 

Forget, forget

Forget, forget

Ain't no time for regret

 

Yeah, it's time to be letting go

Oh baby, you know what I'm talking about

Got nothing to lose and nothing to prove

Oh baby, I'm bowing out

I'm bowing out

 

Yeah, I've been dancing with the devil

I love that he pretends to care

If I'll ever get to heaven

When a million dollars gets you there

 

Oh, all the time that I have wasted

Chasing rabbits down a hole

When I was born to be the tortoise

I was born to walk alone

 

Forget about it

Forget about it

Forget about it

 

Forget, forget

Forget, forget

Ain't no time for regret

 

I'm gonna leave the past behind

I've had enough, I'm breaking free

No pressing stop, erase, rewind

That chain of thought that followed me

 

I've put my money where my mouth is

For the first time in my life

I've made mistakes, but I believe that

Everything was worth the fight

 

Cause in the end, the road is long

But only cause it makes you strong

It's filled with peaks and twists and turns

Sometimes you have to learn to forget about it

"If I Could Fly" - Helloween

https://youtu.be/9mFvI2wjg7Y

 

No fear, no pain

Nobody left to blame

I'll try alone

Make destiny my own

I learn to free my mind

Myself I now must find

Once more

Once more

 

If I could fly

Like the king of the sky

Could not tumble nor fall

I would picture it all

If I could fly

See the world through my eyes

Would not stumble nor fail

To the heavens I sail

If I could fly

 

So here I am

In solitude I stand

I've got dreams inside

I need to realize

My faith has grown

No fear of the unknown

No more

No more

 

If I could fly

Like the king of the sky

Could not tumble nor fall

I would picture it all

If I could fly

See the world through my eyes

Would not stumble nor fail

I could ravage my jail

If I could fly

 

If I could, if I could fly

If I could, if I could fly

If I could, if I could fly

 

Like the king of the sky

Could not tumble nor fall

I would picture it all

If I could fly

See the world through my eyes

Would not stumble nor fail

To the heavens I sail

 

If I could fly

Like the king of the sky

Could not tumble nor fall

I would picture it all

If I could fly

See the world through my eyes

Would not stumble nor fail

I could ravage my jail

If I could fly

"Our Lives" - The Calling

 

Is it love tonight

When everyone's dreaming

Of a better life

In this world

Divided by fear

We've gotta believe that

There's a reason we're here

Yeah, there's a reason we're here

 

Cause these are the days worth living

These are the years we're given

And these are the moments

These are the times

Let's make the best out of our lives

 

See the truth all around

Our faith can be broken

And our hands can be bound

But open our hearts

And fill up the emptiness

With nothing to stop us

Is it not worth the risk

Is it not worth the risk

 

Cause these are the days worth living

These are the years we're given

And these are the moments

These are the times

Let's make the best out of our lives

 

Even if hope were shattered

I know it wouldn't matter

Cause these are the moments

These are the times

Let's make the best out of our lives

 

We can't go on

Thinking it's wrong

To speak our minds

I've gotta let out what's inside

 

Is it love tonight

When everyone's dreaming

Can we get it right

Yeah, well can we get it right

 

Cause these are the days worth living

These are the years we're given

And these are the moments

These are the times

Let's make the best out of our lives

 

Even if hope were shattered

I know it wouldn't matter

Because these are the moments

These are the times

Let's make the best out of our lives

And this one, Saga MB, is perfect for you, my dear friend and one of the strongest and most beautiful woman I've ever known.

"Strong Beautiful Woman" - Paula Cole

 

 

http://resource.img1.ybbs.ca/media/7cQYe1Bk6X6c.jpeg

 

 

Strong beautiful woman

Oh so don’t let the world get you down

Look within yourself

And remember who you are

 

Ten years old in braids and skirts

I’m flying down the hill

Down the street to Grandma’s house

I step inside her world

First she’d hold me, feed me, scold me

Patiently she’d heed my moaning

Then she’d sit me down and tell me this

 

You’ll be a strong, beautiful woman

And I won’t let the world let you down

Look within yourself

And remember who carried you forth

You’ll be a strong, beautiful woman

And I won’t let the world let you down

Look within yourself

And remember who you are

 

Twenty-six and leading the band

The troubadour traveling show

Working in a world of men

Brokenhearted and alone

I lift my head up just long enough

To cease self-pitying and doubt

I feel her spirit with me now

 

You are a strong beautiful woman

And I won’t let the world let you down

Look within yourself

And remember who carried you forth

You are a strong, beautiful woman

And I won’t let the world let you down

Look within yourself

And remember who you are

 

Decades come and decades go

The thirties, forties, on it goes

Seems I’m always holding on to this

 

  You are a strong beautiful woman 

And I won’t let the world let you down

Look within yourself

And remember who carried you forth

You are a strong, beautiful woman

And I won’t let the world let you down

Look within yourself

And remember who you are

"Beauty" - Earth, Wind & Fire

 

Oh when

I look around me

This whole world

Seems so troubled to me

 

Does no one see

The beauty that surrounds them

Take a look around you, baby

Pretty little blossoms

Just as sweet as can be

 

You know it troubles my mind

These troubled times

We need love

You know it troubles my mind

These troubled times

We need love

The world needs love

Let there be love

 

Open up your heart and love more

Open up

Open up your heart and love more

Open up

Open up your heart and love more

Open up

Open up your heart

Give a little love

Love, love, love, love

 

It troubles my mind

These troubled times

We need love, love, love

"Road to Hell" - Chris Rea

https://youtu.be/1EBw_da7BZk

 

Well I'm standing by a river

But the water doesn't flow

It boils with every poison

You can think of

 

And I'm underneath the streetlights

But the light of joy I know

Scared beyond belief

Way down in the shadows

 

And the perverted fear of violence

Chokes the smile on every face

And common sense is ringing out the bells

This ain't no technological breakdown

 

Oh no

This is the road to hell

 

And all the roads jam up with credit

And there's nothing you can do

It's all just bits of paper

Flying away from you

 

Oh, look out world

Take a good look

What comes down here

You must learn this lesson fast

And learn it well

This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway

 

Oh no

This is the road

This is the road

This is the road to hell

"Wall of Silence" - October Project

 

I've seen that life

Touches us with pain

And we change

Becoming strangers to our friends

Tell me what happens along the way

 

I thought of us

Hard to talk these days

Did we change

Or were we strangers all along

Tell me what caused us to turn away

 

There's a wall of silence

Miles across

A wall between us

Holding back

Holding back our loss

 

I moved ahead

Thinking you'd be there

But it changed

And now we're strangers to our past

How did I lose you along the way

 

There's a wall of silence

Miles across

A wall between us

Holding back

Holding back our loss

 

I've seen that life

Touches us with pain

And we change

Becoming strangers to ourselves

Tell me what happened along the way

How did I lose you along the way

"Fly Sadness Fly" - Fury in the Slaughterhouse

 

Beside the road

The moon is falling

Out of a clear bright sky

I remember what I've left this morning

And the engine sings goodbye

 

Soft rain on the windscreen

Patting an unknown beat

In my head so sweet

I put my dreams on the dashboard

My fears in the trunk and drive on

 

[CHORUS]

Our road is paved with fire

You know we have to burn our feet

To fulfill our desire

Our road is paved with fire

We might burn our souls

But where else can we go

 

Fly my sadness, fly

Make sure you shake off all the pain

Before you reach the sky

Cry a river, cry

Don't try to hide it in yourself

Just let the water flow

Just let the water flow

 

And so I drive for hours and hours

And the transience of being

Is everything I'm seeing

But I don`t think it's too late

Now it's time to face the fate

To go on, go on

 

[CHORUS]

 

Fly my sadness, fly

Fly my sadness, fly

Let the music play

This is now goodbye

This is now goodbye

Let the music play

 

Crying every cry

And fly my sadness, fly
